    What do you suggest I should do?

    How much will it cost in India?  I have no idea. I live in Europe.

    I suggest to ask a repair shop of PC or laptop.

    If the cost of repair is more than 50% of the current value of the laptop, you would be better sourcing of a notebook replacement.

    towelsrawesome,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  The first thing I would say is to remove all external devices from your PC (except the mouse and keyboard) and then restart.  If she does not always correctly, then try to start safe mode.  Here is a link that explains the Safe Mode and how to start to it: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/315222

  • Can you have SMU 1062 q turn on without using the power button

    I use a q SMU-1062 for a test project that will take place inside a protective case.  The power button on the chassis will be covered by a plate on the protective case that make it boring and difficult to switch on using the power button on the chassis.  The chassis will be plugged into a power strip of travel - lite which is mounted in the case.  Is it possible that I can have the power to frame on when I turn on the power strip?

    I found another route.  In the controller BIOS, I changed the parameters of loss of AC power to TURN on after that AC is returned.  This allows me to use the power strip in my configuration to control the electric network distributed to the controller.  The following steps will describe how I got this.

    1. Power of the SMU-8115 controller.

    2. A message will appear on your screen, press to enter SETUP

    3. Select 'Remove' (quickly, because you don't have a lot of time before the window disappears and the controller continues to load normally.)

    4. This will open the main Menu of the BIOS

    5. Select the Advanced tab (use the arrow keys to highlight the selections and the different tabs, select a setting change with 'enter'

    6. Select > Configuration power and rest

    7. Change the configuration to power on when power is restored.

    The controller can be normally close by using the start menu, and "shut down".

    Start button / stop of the chassis is still capable of turning the power on to the controller, but now when I shut off the AC power strip and then return power, get the controller chassis.

  • 3 peripheral USB connected to the Macbook 4.1 computer tells me to restart using the power button / stop?

    I went to record a live concert, and I need to use a single interface to record the members of the group with microphones near directly to a computer and another interface running for my model of Macbook 4.1 end of 2007, to get signals from the map of the House.

    When I plug my converter USB 3.0 AD / DA in my Macbook 4,1 - the computer sends immediately a window indicating to me to "reboot" the computer using the power button / stop. Ideas or comments about why this happens?

    I read on this forum that USB ports should work with retroactive effect, or accept USB 3.0 devices, but just use a speed 2.0?

    Thank you.

    It could be that it is a requirement of your converter AD / DA she needs to be present at a properly accessible to the OS X when startup sequence it is plugged into a USB2 port.

    Its also interesting to note that, well that peripheral USB3 can be plugged into the USB2 ports... it could be that your device may not work properly unless it is used with a port USB3... for reasons of bandwidth or even certain types of power supply.

    But to be sure...

    Which converter AD / DA are you using?

  • The mouse freezes at startup properly off. Mouse only thaws and works correctly when I hold the power button to stop and turn back.

    I just got a new Inspiron 1545 computer 2 weeks ago and it works fine but I got a problem for the last two days where my mouse will freeze after that I stopped it using the stop option. When my computer starts you can move the mouse, but after a few seconds, it freezes, and you can't move the mouse but the keyboard works. I try to restart the computer with the option to reboot from the start menu and when it starts up to the top of the mouse freezes still. No matter how many times I try to stop or restart properly mouse unlock not. It only works if I stopped it by pressing the power and then switch on again. Any ideas as to what I could do to fix this?

    The sad truth is that the mouse freeze problem is back. I searched the forum for other solutions, but so far without success.

    I am currently using MS Wireless Mobile Mouse 3500 and just to make sure that the problem is with the mouse, I inverted this mouse on my other laptop which works also on Windows 7. Mouse freeze problem is replicated, which never happened before for my other laptop.
    Conclusion, until Microsoft is able to solve this problem, I opted for Logitech. I bought a Logitech M235 wireless mouse last night and keep your fingers crossed that the mouse freeze problem will disappear.
    Life is too short to be stressed more mouse freeze problem.

    The Logitech mouse is a Logitech Anywhere MX shaving with Logitech Control Center for Mac OS X v3.6.0. I use Firefox 20 in Mac OS x 10.6.8. The problem has been only to detect the browser after update to version 20. I have not customized the return key on the mouse for any other function than to return to the previous page.

  • C6180: To avoid damage, use the power button / shutdown - message does not disappear and the printer is looping

    I have problems with my printer since arriving to a new home. I stop the printer before removing the cable, but seems could have pulled the power cable earlier than closing down.

    Since that time, the printer is looping with message "to avoid damage to use the off button /...» "- How do I stop and work again.

    Please help!

    Thank you.

    Heck!

    I was really hoping that would not be the issue.

    So, if I understand it, the question you receive looks like this;

    "It lights up and shows the HP logo and process bar animation for one minute, followed by the message:"abnormal termination. "  To avoid damage use on the button to turn off the printer.  Do not use a wall or the band switch to close.  Press OK.  Then he stops and leaves upward. »

     

    Try this:

    1. If the printer is still on, unplug all rigid and flexible cables at the back of the printer.

    2 unplug the power cord also from the wall...

    3. wait for two minutes.

    4 reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet first.

    5. hold the pound (#) and six 6 buttons.

    6. all by pressing the two buttons, reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer and at the end of two seconds, exit book and six buttons.

    7. turn on the printer if it goes out...

    Third times the charm, right? * fingers crossed *
